Hi,
I tried for a bit to install Xubuntu 14.10 on old i7 920. I gave up and put 14.04 on with very little problem, and it's up and running.
I'd rather have bleeding edge software, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried a dist upgrade successfully with my video hardware?
I don't want to fight this. I need this box for software development, but would rather reinstall with what I have now rather than get everything set up and then have to reinstall later. And MUCH more I would rather keep it on 14.04 rather than have to fight with it.
Thanks.
